Great idea book for any Christmas crafter!
I saw this book on line and read all the reviews. I went ahead and purchased (such a good price through Amazon). I was pleasantly surprised to find it filled with many inspirational ideas for crafts as well as decorating ideas for my home. I also loved the vintage Christmas houses and the book has instructions/patterns that are very easy to follow.
Nice book to flip through, holiday houses are very cute
I enjoyed looking through this book. Of particular interest to me were the adorable holiday houses. They have about 8 different templates and a lot of photos of them all decorated and displayed quite nicely. Since I ran across them in this book, I have seen more examples of them online, and they are very pretty. I'm planning on making some myself. There aren't many other projects however, hence the loss of a star.
No craft projects
I was so disappointed by this book. There are a lot of pretty pictures but hardly any actual craft projects. It's more of a display of the author's and her mother's private Christmas decoration collection. The book gave me one or two ideas but all in all was not worth the money. I regret buying this book.
Some ideas
I was anticipating this book to be full of vintage Xmas like the title says but instead most of the items are new! Except for the final chapter by Debbie Dusenberry and her store Curious Sofa. This was a chapter worth buying the book for. Great photography, ideas and display from her. She should have had more chapters or maybe a book of her own.
Vintage Christmas Crafts
I had seen the book in the book store. I bought it for a friend. I liked it so well I bought one for myself. Got it cheaper through Amazon.
